Caffeine limit at 38 weeks?

Question

I’ve been limiting caffeine basically the entire pregnancy and maybe had a decaf Dunkin’ coffee twice the entire time. Going out for breakfast this morning and curious, do I need to limit caffeine intake at this point too? At 38 weeks the baby is fully formed. I would still get a decaf but their decaf iced coffee still has a decent amount of caffeine...

Answer

I have had a cup of coffee almost every day this pregnancy 🤷‍♀️ as long as you stay below the recommended limit you’re all good. Baby can be sensitive to caffeine when they come out though, if you’re going to be breastfeeding. I have decaf stocked up for the first month 😅

Answer

I can't live without my daily starbucks. No limiting caffeine for me 🤷‍♀️

Answer

From like 6 months on, I have had 4 oz of regular coffee pretty much every day. I have been suffering from really bad migraines this whole pregnancy so my midwife suggested that.

Answer

I was doing SO good with having zero caffeine up until about 7 weeks ago. Once I hit the third trimester I was miserable and wanted a chi tea latte more than life itself. Now I get one latte a day and it's still under the 200mg/day limit. Thought I would feel bad, but I don't. 🤷‍♀️ It's a treat.

Answer

I’ve been drinking a cup of coffee every day since I got pregnant. You’re allowed 200mg of caffeine/day. So have a cup and enjoy it!

Answer

I’ve had caffeine the entire pregnancy. I would get debilitating migraines without it. I think as long as you’re not drinking a pot of coffee a day and 3 Red Bull’s and mountain dews, you’re fine. Just try not to over consume and spread it out during the day. Also having plenty of water in between. If you feel funny after having caffeine, you and the baby may be sensitive to it. But otherwise, the recommended limit is 200 mg a day.

Answer

Nah drink up you’re good! I’ve limited caffeine by having only one cup of coffee instead of like 4. 😂

Answer

Yes, increased caffeine can raise your blood pressure and/or increase baby’s heart rate
